As we all know, corridos tumbados, specially Peso Pluma have become a global trend. This genre is actually a subcategory based on corridos but combining rhythms of urban music such as rap, hip-hop, trap, and even reggaeton.
So it was time for a rapper like Travis Scott, to make a collab with an artist of the sub-genre, whether Natanael Cano, Junior H, or even Danny Lux; however, the producer Rivs Trips revealed that image where you see a folder with the name “Travis X PP- RIVS.” This means that Travis and Peso Pluma have already come together to put together a hit.
It is no surprise, that Travis is encouraged to create a cool corrido tumbado next to the most important artist of the genre, since, some time ago, he surprised us with a collab with the Spanish artist, Rosalía, riding a Dembow, in which he even sang a part in Spanish, so we will see what song the rapper and Hassan have prepared.
The Global Impact of Corridos Tumbados
This musical style has gained popularity in recent years, fusing the tradition of Mexican corridos with the contemporary sounds of urban music. As for the instruments used in these compositions, we can find a wide variety. Trumpet, keyboard, guitar, saxophone, electric bass, and acoustic bass are some of the most common. Each of these instruments brings its sound and personality to the songs, creating a unique and distinctive atmosphere.
Therefore, the artist Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija has managed to connect through his interpretation and collaborations, since these two factors, have been key to Hassan, better known as Peso Pluma, has recognition in the world. This has been seen in figures on music platforms, mainly on Spotify, and in important events such as the MTV VMAs 2023, as he became the first Mexican to perform at this event.
Corridos are the subgenre in which most Pop or mainstream artists, want to experiment, and is that, corridos tumbados are the perfect mix to get out of the comfort zone a little bit because they lend themselves to mixing different musical genres and creating a unique sound. That is the key to this subgenre in which the artist Natanael Cano, was a pioneer of this sound, and that has been fundamental for many independent artists to find their essence in the music industry.
In addition, what has helped is that Peso Pluma joins with known and not-so-well-known artists to increase their visibility and reach a wider audience. On the other hand, Marcelo Rivera, better known as Rivs Strips has become one of the most prominent producers of the genre, and his work continues to surprise and captivate lovers of the genre.
